| Chandler_Vercett | Hello everyone, i just recently installed Ubuntu MATE 16.04.3 on my system, but i seem to have an issue with my audio outputting nothing but static through my wireless headset. The previous install of the same version worked just fine, i even ran updates in hopes that the issue resolves itself, no such luck however. Is there some special driver i m | 09:44 |
| Chandler_Vercett | ight need for the Logitech G933 wireless headset or anything like that? | 09:44 |
| diogenes_ | Chandler_Vercett, do you happen to work at Best Buy? | 09:45 |
| Chandler_Vercett | um.. no | 09:45 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 09:45 |
| Chandler_Vercett | why? | 09:45 |
| diogenes_ | just confused you with another dude | 09:46 |
| Chandler_Vercett | ah | 09:46 |
| diogenes_ | Chandler_Vercett, maybe you should install some sort of firmware drivers for your system | 09:47 |
| diogenes_ | look in driver manager | 09:47 |
| Chandler_Vercett | you talking about aditional drivers in control center or something else | 09:49 |
| diogenes_ | Chandler_Vercett, something like that yes | 09:52 |
| m4t | Chandler_Vercett: i have a different headset (turtle beach) and one thing i know is it only likes a certain type of input. if uncompressed pcm, non-audio bit has to be unset on the iec958 frames. if it's e.g. dolby digital then it *has* to have the non-audio bit else it tries to decode it as pcm, and sounds like static garbage | 09:52 |
| Chandler_Vercett | the only things i get is the driver for my GPU and CPU microcode firmware | 09:52 |
| m4t | Chandler_Vercett: maybe pull open the audio settings and try various output configs e.g. analog stereo output or digital (iec958) output | 09:53 |
| Chandler_Vercett | m4t i only get one output option, just Logitech G933 Gaming Wireless Analog Stereo | 09:55 |
| m4t | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 09:55 |
| m4t | sorry | 09:55 |
| Chandler_Vercett | is that all u had to do to get your headset working? | 09:56 |
| Chandler_Vercett | on my other laptop which is running the same distro, it works just fine with no issues at all | 09:57 |
| Chandler_Vercett | both systems are running 16.04.3 | 09:57 |
| m4t | no i had to modify the driver to set different configuration registers on the chipset lol | 09:58 |
| m4t | in order to play digital. cuz the non-audio bit was static | 09:58 |
| Chandler_Vercett | hmm | 09:59 |
| m4t | but yours seems to work elsewhere fine so i dunno | 09:59 |
| m4t | usb connected right? | 09:59 |
| Chandler_Vercett | i don't even get the slightest bit of sound, just static | 09:59 |
| Chandler_Vercett | yes | 10:00 |
| Chandler_Vercett | works great under windows 7 | 10:00 |
| m4t | sound from which application? | 10:00 |
| m4t | anything? | 10:00 |
| Chandler_Vercett | system wide | 10:00 |
| Chandler_Vercett | everything is static | 10:00 |
| m4t | i guess you could check which sample rate it's trying to use | 10:01 |
| Chandler_Vercett | how would i do that? | 10:01 |
| Chandler_Vercett | the audio control panel is quite limited | 10:01 |
| m4t | uhm maybe try find /proc/asound -name stream0 | 10:02 |
| m4t | it might have that | 10:02 |
| m4t | if you cat it it shows supported sample rates and current sample rate | 10:02 |
| m4t | maybe compare the 2 on working and non-working linux systems | 10:02 |
| m4t | i guess another thing to try would be to launch alsamixer (from alsa-utils pkg) and mess with the settings there | 10:04 |
| m4t | e.g. press 'm' to mute/unmute | 10:05 |
| m4t | various controls | 10:05 |
| m4t | it might not have a mixer though, in which case that wouldn't let you see the card | 10:05 |
| Chandler_Vercett | nothing for my headset is muted in alsamixer | 10:07 |
| m4t | which controls does it give that are *not* volume controls. some are just mute/unmute | 10:08 |
| m4t | but i'd check the stream0 thing | 10:08 |
| m4t | or stream1 potentially | 10:08 |
| m4t | i'd compare what you see there with another working linux system | 10:09 |
| Chandler_Vercett | i'll give it a look | 10:10 |
| m4t | k | 10:10 |
| Chandler_Vercett | works perfectly on that system, fresh untouched install as well | 10:12 |
| Chandler_Vercett | no crackling at all | 10:12 |
| Chandler_Vercett | m4t everything looks the same across both systems | 10:17 |
| m4t | check dmesg for clues? try different usb ports? | 10:17 |
| Chandler_Vercett | oooh! | 10:18 |
| Chandler_Vercett | it works | 10:18 |
| Chandler_Vercett | i think it doesn't like my USB 3 bus | 10:18 |
| m4t | ah | 10:19 |
| m4t | cool | 10:19 |
| Chandler_Vercett | which is odd because my storage drive is connected through said ports | 10:19 |
| m4t | i've got a usb sound interface that doesn't work right on usb3 but works fine on usb2 | 10:19 |
| Chandler_Vercett | hmm | 10:19 |
| Chandler_Vercett | odd | 10:19 |
| m4t | yea i dunno | 10:19 |
| Chandler_Vercett | problem is i only have 2 usb 2.0 ports on my motherboard excluding the ones at the front of my case | 10:21 |
| m4t | hub? | 10:21 |
| Chandler_Vercett | don't have one, i'll just move my keyboard over to the USB 3, it's working on there | 10:23 |
| Chandler_Vercett | yep, that was the issue, i moved my reciever base's cable to a USB 2 port and that fixed it | 10:25 |
| Chandler_Vercett | awesome, that helps a lot, now i just gotta figure out why VMWare workstation isn't installing properly | 10:26 |
| Chandler_Vercett | thank you though for the tips | 10:26 |
| m4t | np | 10:27 |
| Chandler_Vercett | i am off, good night/morning everyone | 10:28 |

| xmetal | hmm having some sort (while i am on a nightly build atm it did happen before i clean formatted 17.10 too) issue with Xorg where i get auto-logged out back to the welcome screen (logging back in, always wants to send an error report repated to Xorg) ... THOUGHT it was related to installing/removing snaps since that is when it use to only happen, now it happened again and I wasn't doing anything with snaps | 17:37 |
| Boyette | hi im trying to find an application like spotnet or spotlite for ubuntu mate | 17:52 |
| diogenes_ | Boyette, what does it do? | 17:52 |
| Boyette | its to connect to usenetservers | 17:53 |
| Boyette | usenet providers | 17:54 |
| Boyette | so i need a usenetclient | 17:55 |
| Boyette | hmm maybe sabnzbd | 17:55 |
| xmetal | hmm this xorg (?? still dont 100% know whats going on, but it seems to be related to xorg crashing, as I said) thing has me curios | 17:59 |
| daniel_ | Hey! New to Linux, and Im not sure if this is the right place to ask. I think I might have a BIOS-virus or a rootkit | 18:12 |
| daniel_ | Im on a laptop. Removing my BIOS would be very difficult | 18:13 |
| daniel_ | Anything I can do to fix/solve this? | 18:13 |
| Boyette | why do you think that | 18:13 |
| diogenes_ | daniel_, who told you that you have a bios virus? | 18:13 |
| daniel_ | Thing is, Im not sure, but I strongly suspect it. Long story. However, the only solution would be to fix this | 18:14 |
| daniel_ | People I know who do this type of shit have been near my pc | 18:14 |
| daniel_ | I dont know, its not relevant. But how do I make sure I dont have it/remove it? Ive updated my bios, though. | 18:15 |
| diogenes_ | daniel_, lenovo? | 18:15 |
| daniel_ | Both a HP pavilion and a lenovo | 18:16 |
| Boyette | i think if u update ur bios u get rid of it .. those viruses are kind of high tech.. unlikely you have that on a random laptop | 18:20 |
| daniel_ | thats reassuring to hear. I really hope so | 18:20 |
| xmetal | My Lenovo (lost $140 on the warrenty, but at least THAT got me my $699 back) got bit by that BIOS issue that was in the news a few months ago | 18:21 |
| Boyette | lenovo has a history of bringing malicious content | 18:21 |
| diogenes_ | I would not recommend lenovo to anyone who wants to run linux, | 18:22 |
| Boyette | just format it all before you use it | 18:22 |
| diogenes_ | even for windows I'd never buy it | 18:22 |
| daniel_ | what type of BIOS issue, xmetal? the built in adware/spyware? | 18:22 |
| daniel_ | or security vulnurability (aka for hackers) | 18:22 |
| daniel_ | ? | 18:22 |
| xmetal | ... hackers? | 18:22 |
| daniel_ | yeah, thats what im asking about | 18:23 |
| daniel_ | trying to protect my pc from hackers | 18:23 |
| xmetal | note that it happened to me before any 17.10 release was even in alpha mode ... by MONTHS ... https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/12/ubuntu-corrupting-lenovo-laptop-bios (picked link at random) | 18:23 |
| daniel_ | and the only way I guess my linux would be hacked, would be if i had a bios virus. i dont download anything/dont visit shady sites | 18:24 |
| daniel_ | so it has more to do with ppl have been around my pc or hacked it remotely | 18:24 |
| xmetal | like i said before as soon as (I think it was pope y .... space before the Y so i dont ping him, unnecessarily) that mentioned it after an episode of LUP .. I nstatnky knew that is what happened to me | 18:25 |
| xmetal | o_O @ so much "hacking" | 18:25 |
| daniel_ | yeah, my obsession with all this shit has gone too far. but it has happened | 18:27 |
| daniel_ | by people ive had contact with | 18:27 |
| daniel_ | again, not relevant for all this | 18:27 |
| diogenes_ | daniel_, why don't you sell your pc and buy a new one? | 18:27 |
| daniel_ | yeah, thats probably the best to do | 18:28 |
| daniel_ | thank you all for info and suggestions. ill stick around, if anyone knows more about this, just write | 18:28 |
| daniel_ | ill stick around later* gtg for a while | 18:29 |
| xmetal | not everything that "goes wrong" with a system means "it was hacked!" | 18:29 |
| daniel_ | btw, how does this chat work? is everything deleted after a while? | 18:29 |
| Boyette | @diogenes im using sabnzbd now but after installation it runs like some chrome addon.. what i dont like :P | 18:29 |
| daniel_ | or is this logged forever? | 18:32 |
| daniel_ | ah, nvm, got it | 18:32 |
| diogenes_ | Boyette, some chrome addons you can run as styandalone apps | 18:33 |
| diogenes_ | standalone | 18:33 |
| Boyette | well i think its not supposed to be a chrome addon but it behaves like that | 18:38 |
| Boyette | https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/ | 18:38 |
| Boyette | but i dont understand why | 18:39 |
| iseeyou | hi | 20:59 |
| iseeyou | hi | 21:00 |
| Boyette | hi | 21:00 |
| iseeyou | from? | 21:01 |
| Boyette | NL | 21:02 |

| Boyette | i know | 21:02 |
| iseeyou | were? | 21:02 |
| Boyette | ipconnect.de | 21:03 |
| iseeyou | ahh | 21:04 |
| iseeyou | nice.. | 21:05 |
